1980 Shadow, Nice Straight Body, Excellent Interior, Drives Well, Great Value! on 2040-cars
Macon, Georgia, United States
|
Thisi is a nice proper Rolls Rocye Siilver Shadow, a 1980 US model, as best as I can discern. It's finished in a two tone scheme, as I believe most all these cars were, with the top sections in what appears to be a "champagne" or "smoke silver" finish. The bottoms/sides are in a dark brown metallic, I believe it is called Walnut. It makes a really, really good appearance, inside and out. The interior is especially nice. The odometer shows approximately 17000 miles, but PLEASE NOTE: This car is being sold "mileage exempt" under Ga law (vehicles more than 10 years old). I have a fairly recent ticket from last year that shows a remove/repair/and re-install on the speedometer for a broken gear, so I need to make that clear. Frankly, many facets of the car do look like 17k miles, but I want to make sure that I give total disclousre on the miles. As with any 34 year old British car, there are good and bad features. I will do my best to give you the most accurate description: THE GOOD
More Good: All power windows, central locking, and power seat functions are working. Has the original Blaupunkt analog pushbutton US radio, and the original dash mounted Pioneer cassette player in its small cubby hole (don't know if it works, can't find a casseette!). Lights, brake lights, etc, all work withtout issue. Carpets look excellent, and it has the expensive lambswool floor mats that are also well kept. I have what appear to be the original books, manuals, driver's guides, etc in the proper leather pouch. Not smoky, and no foul odors. Glass looks to be orginal and in excellent shape. THE BAD (and it's not that bad):
There is a lot to like about this car. Take another look at the photos, and the average person would be amazed to know its age. The interior is really great--leather, wood, and chrome trim are super good. With a little TLC, and the right Rolls wrench, you can have a beautiful motorcar for not a lot of dollars. The car belongs a client's wife, who received it after her mother passed. It was used as a halo piece for the family's formalwear shop, hence the limited use. Since she has passed, they clients have no place to keep it, nor the interest in keeping it up. (They aren't "car people"). And as you already know, not driving these things is about the worst thing you can do to them. If you will call or email me, I will do my best to give you the most accurate and honest answers I can. Please note: I know there are many long distance and international buyers on Ebay. But I will NOT sell you this car until you have, at the very least, talked with the most recent tech who has worked on it. He spoke highly of the car and will tell you what he honestly knows. He would give you a a good PPI for very little money. This is not usually my kind of car (it's not German). But these are good folks who need some help, and someone will get a lovely motorcar for far less than the price of a basic pickup truck. Check me out at www.encoremacon.com. I am about an hour south of ATL Hartsfield aiprort and can help you with transportation, logistics, etc. Pleae note that my feedback is 100% and I want to keep it that way. Paypal is OK for the intial deposit, but wire only for the balance. I have the lien free GA title in hand. Thanks for looking! Let's find her a good home! |

Rolls-Royce reveals Ghawwass edition Phantom Coupe
Wed, 16 Oct 2013This is the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe Ghawwass Bespoke Edition, the latest car to join the long and distinguished line of Rolls-Royce limited editions that have arrived over the years. With that in mind, we'll allow you one guess as to what market this limited edition is destined for.
If you said the Middle East, which is almost always the answer when talking about ultra-limited, special editions of the world's finest luxury and sports cars, then give yourself a pat on the back. As for that name, "Ghawwass" is the Arabic word for diver, and attaching it to the Phantom Coupe is meant to celebrate "the traditional method of collecting pearls from the Bahrain pearl banks," according to Rolls-Royce's Facebook page, where these pictures were posted.
Considering its nautical namesake, the color scheme of the Phantom Ghawwass makes a lot of sense, with a Turchese Blue exterior and a tan and Turchese interior that brings to mind bright blue water and sand. The veneers are pearl - although we can't see them in this photoset - befitting the car's inspiration, while a Dhow, a traditional Arabic sailboat, can be found in the coachline and stitched into the headrests.
Ex-Rolls-Royce design chief Ian Cameron killed at home
Tue, Jul 16 2024Former Rolls-Royce design chief Ian Cameron, the man who oversaw the automaker's design renaissance with the Phantom and Ghost ranges, was stabbed to death at his home in Bavaria (translated) on July 12. German newspaper reports have identified a suspect via surveillance camera (translated) whom police say is the killer. Apparently, the man went shopping at a store less than a mile from Cameron's house, then changed clothes and showed up at Cameron's door. A surveillance image before the suspect gets to the house shows him wearing the items that neighbors described, notably light pants, a dark blue hoodie, a red backpack and "yellow-green gloves." Someone reportedly cut the wires on the home security system, the suggestion being that the suspect or someone else involved had cased the house for at least a few days. It's said the killer rang the doorbell, attacking as soon as Cameron opened the front door, stabbing the designer to death. Verena Kloos, Cameron's wife, escaped to a neighbor's house and called police. This is a bizarre incident. Reports have floated the motivation that the killer wanted one of the vehicles in Cameron's car collection at the Bavarian property. Instead of going after a car, though, the killer ran off in his distinctive outfit, staying in the open long enough for neighbors to give a detailed description. He then changed clothes and ditched the backpack on a lakeside promenade not far from Cameron's house. Strangest of all, the man apparently left the clothes near the backpack, and the backpack contained items the man had bought during his shopping trip before the murder. At the time of writing, police are searching throughout Germany but haven't caught the suspect. With a clear picture and a likely trove of DNA evidence, authorities have excellent leads. Anyone who can help is asked to get in touch with the Furstenfeldbruck Criminal Investigation Department at (+49) 8.14.16.120. Cameron's career started at Pininfarina in 1975, culminating in a greatest hits of designs while at BMW. He has exterior design of the third-generation Range Rover on his resume, as well as the BMW Z8. It was Cameron's Phantom, though, that helped create an entirely new Rolls-Royce after BMW bought the brand. CEO Chris Brownridge wrote on LinkedIn that "Ian played a significant role in shaping Rolls-Royce from when it was first acquired by BMW Group and moved to its home at Goodwood, West Sussex.
Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini utilities await approval from German parents [w/poll]
Wed, 22 Oct 2014A cursory look at the top of the automobile market would suggest that the world's carmakers are gunning it full steam ahead into a new stratosphere of ultra-luxury and high-performance utility vehicles. After all, companies like Bentley and Maserati are preparing to launch their very first crossovers, while established players like Mercedes-Benz and Land Rover keep producing ever more expensive sport-utes of their own. But that's not the case across the board.
Rolls-Royce, for example, has yet to receive the green light to start working on its proposed CUV project. Though the dimensions of its sedans may already eclipse those of some crossovers, this would be the first time that Goodwood would produce a utility of its own. But while the British automaker's financial performance may have earned it a degree of autonomy, the final call may still come down to parent company BMW, which just might be waiting to see how Bentley fares with its upcoming crossover - and how much money it brings in to the Volkswagen Group - before deciding on whether or not it should proceed.
However, Rolls-Royce may not be alone in waiting for its German parent company to approve its high-priced ute. It's been two and a half years since we first laid eyes on the Lamborghini Urus (pictured), but the Italian automaker reportedly has not yet received approval from its parent company Audi and the greater Volkswagen Group to proceed with development and production. Envisioned to share its platform with the next Volkswagen Touareg, Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne and the production version of the Bentley EXP 9 F concept, the high-riding Lamborghini was originally set to reach production as the marque's third model line in 2017. But while Audi drags its feet - potentially waiting to see how the Bentley version pans out - the Urus' launch keeps getting pushed back, if it's ever to be made at all.
